Michael Karakolis makes terrazzo for a living. So when he built his own home, everyone expected a showcase. Instead he asked his designer to hold the terrazzo back and to put a whole house together around it. Six years on, Gloss House shows why the best homes aren't specified. They're composed.

As kitchens continue to merge with living and dining spaces, the most successful appliances are often the ones that disappear.

Creating a home that feels like a private retreat isn’t done by accident. It requires thoughtful architecture and a carefully curated material palette that feels immediately warm, inviting and connected to its surroundings. For this stunning Buderim home, Slate & Stone’s Latte Travertine proved the perfect finishing touch.
